Shelbourne camp in disarray due to virus ahead of Cork City clash

“I won’t give a list but there’s been a bad virus in the group. The lads haven’t trained properly, in and out, and haven’t been able to do much."

Shelbourne’s preparations for Friday’s visit of Cork City have been hurtled into a tailspin by a sickness bug in the camp.

The champions lost their unbeaten start to the season last Friday by falling 1-0 to early leaders Drogheda United and Damien Duff is unsure of his personnel for the clash against City at Tolka Park. Thursday’s customary pre-match drill had to be scratched.
